the thing that breaks my heart the most about kazui is how realistic his experience is. he is a perfect example of the damage that homophobia can do, not just to queer people but to those they love as well and it strips away all the logic and the facts and the arguments to create the most heartbreaking and emphatic showcase of the human experience. kazui hates himself. he hates himself so much, he will never stop hating himself, and even more than that he resents the fact that all his suffering seems to be for nothing. it's so SO saddening.
and unfortunately it's a real world experience and i hope that people can look past the lens of innocent/guilty voting just to consider his story outside of it's context for a minute because things like this are still prevalent in the world and they are a reminder of the reason we need to fight for queer rights for everybody and be understanding of other's lives. he may be fictional but his reality is one that may be true for others ohhh i hate my life i hate everything yamanaka i'm sorry for calling you a fraud this is a love letter to your storycrafting ability
